Helga stared at Arnold from across the room. It was lunch time at P.S. 119
Junior High.
Helga and the rest of her 'friends' were finally in 8th grade. A lot had changed since elementary school. Mostly looks. They all had somewhat grown up. Arnold had gotten taller. Helga had grown beautiful, and people noticed, mostly boys.
Helga had had many boyfriends. She hadn't really liked any of them that much, she had just been pretending. She had tried to fool herself into thinking that she was over Arnold. But, of course, she was wrong. She still loved Arnold with all her heart.
Helga broke out of her trance when Phoebe sat her tray down at the table. "Hey, Helga" said Phoebe. "Hey Phoebes." Said Helga, still distracted. Phoebe knew what Helga had been staring at. She was tired of watching Helga being miserable. But she could do nothing about it.
Phoebe had changed over the years also. She was still smart, but she had grown into a pretty young lady. She had also gotten a boyfriend, but her relationship had lasted. Since the beginning of seventh grade Phoebe and Gerald had been an item.
LATER THAT NIGHT Arnold sat on his bed. He didn't know why on this particular night it had bothered him so much, but he missed his parents terribly.
They had been gone for years and to him he thought that someday they would come back. If only he knew it would be sooner than he thought.
NEXT DAY AT SCOOL Helga no longer treated Arnold like scum. They had actually become friends. So when fate had its way that day, Helga and Arnold ran into each other, literally. Helga held back her anger and instead allowed Arnold to help her stand up.
"Thanks" she said as she stood and brushed herself off. "No problem" replied Arnold as Helga walked off. He had become confused at Helga's change in heart. She was no longer a bully. He guessed that along with her looks came niceness. "Where did that come from" he thought out loud. But who was he fooling. Of course Helga looked good. No one in their right mind could deny that.
Soon it would be Helga's birthday. She would be turning 13 since in kindergarten she had started early since her birthday came late. Helga couldn't wait. She would be a teenager.
Arnold knew that Helga's birthday was in a few days. Even since they had become friends he didn't know what to get her. Then he had it. He would get her a locket.
"Phoebe are you going to help me plan this party or talk to your boyfriend all day." Asked Helga sarcastically. "Gerald, I gotta go. Helga's bugging me again............" she said and then hung up the phone. "Are you happy' asked phoebe and Helga knew she was joking. "Ok, we need food, music, things to do, and a list of whose coming." Said Helga. They started working on who was coming first.
Phoebe
Gerald
Arnold
Harold
Lila
Nadine
Rhonda
Eugene And some other friends. "Ok for music, lets just get a mixed cd" suggested phoebe. For things to do they decided on spin the bottle and truth or dare. For food they got chips and dip. After hours of planning they were ready for the party.
AT THE PARTY People arrived in small groups and stood around talking until everyone arrived. "How about we open presents first" said Helga, clearly wanting to do so. From phoebe she got a diary, Gerald got her a baseball glove. And Arnold got her...................................
Helga was shocked when she opened Arnolds gift. It was a golden locket. It was almost identical to the one she used to carry, except for the picture. It held a photo of all of her friends. "Thanks" said Helga. She was overwhelmed with memories of times she had been mean to her friends and times Arnold had helped hre.
The next thing they did was play spin the bottle. Gerald landed on phoebe and they kissed and it wasn't the first time. Soon it was time for Arnold to spin the bottle. Helga prayed that it would land on her as it spun round and round and it landed on .................................................................................. ................................................................................ .......................................................................... am I making you mad?
It landed on Helga. The whole room gasped. Right when they were about to kiss they were interrupted by the ringing of a cell phone. Lila apologized as she took the call. Soon the game was forgotten by everyone except Helga and Arnold.
LATER THAT NIGHT Soon it was time for the last dance of the night. It was a slow song. Everyone found someone to dance with. Helga sat by herself hoping that someone would ask her to dance. She heard footsteps as she saw Arnold approach. "So Helga, I was wondering if you want to............." He was interrupted by the sound of a sickening sweet voice.
"Arnold do you wanna dance" asked Lila. Arnold agreed and led Lila to the dance floor.
Helga knew that Arnold was going to ask her to dance, and for that split second Helga had been the happiest girl in the world. Then Lila had to cut in. Helga walked outside and sat on the steps, alone and cold. She wanted to cry, so she did. Finally after a few minutes of her head buried in her hand she heard footsteps behind her. In her mind she hoped that it wasn't Arnold.
It was. "What's wrong" he asked her and he sat down next to her on the steps. "Nothing" she replied clearly lying. "Helga I have known you for about nine years and by now I know that some thing is wrong." Helga just shook her head.
"You know in there....... Where we played spin the bottle, I really did want to kiss you." They leaned closer to each other and then.........."Arnold get in the car" he heard his grandpa say. "I have a big surprise for you." Arnold s face was bright red as he jumped in his grandfather's Packard. "See ya later Helga" he said and then they drove away. SO HOW IS IT SO FAR? PLEASE CONTINUE AND PLEASE REVIEW. IF I GET A LOT OF REVIEWS ILL WRITE ANOTER STORY. OH AND I PROBALLY FORGOT TO TELL YOU EARLIER BUT I DON'T OWN HEY ARNOLD, AND IF I DID WHY WOULD I BE WRITING STORIES HERE I MEAN I COULD BE MAKING NEW EPISODES.
